The presenter was engaging and kept us interacting with questions. The material was easy enough to follow, with relevant slides included. The class was small which allowed us each to ask questions and voice our thoughts without feeling intimidated and struggling to get a word in. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone working in large teams in a commercial environment.
